“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.”
Romans 8:11
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
Ephesians 2:4-5

When I meditate on the reality that the very same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is living in me, I am overwhelmed with a sense of gratefulness. The precious gift of the Holy Spirit dwelling in my physical body is one of the greatest blessings that I have received from the Lord. Through His abiding presence, I am able to have a continual spring of God’s river of life flowing through and ministering to every part of my being. No matter what is happening around me, whether it is perceived as good or bad, the awareness of His Spirit working in me to accomplish His will and purpose transcends my fears and enables me to overcome all adversity. Contemplation on His amazing love sets me free from every thought of anger, anxiety and despair. May His glorious name be praised forever and ever!
